These are the adventures of a True Brit (sewist, Mum, geek, retired burlesque performer, mad creative genius) now in Phoenix, Arizona, a long, long way from home. My mission: to explore the American way of life, to decide what I want to do when I grow up and to discover things that make me happy...all whilst coping with the world's loudest 10 year old, the world's biggest bookworm and the world's brownest house.
